I'm just the opposite. I find Tim silly and funny. But I've sometimes listened to his brother on the radio who came across as a pompous ass.

I refer to him as Jeremy Vile, because I can never remember which Jeremy is which, and it seems quite an appropriate name anyway.

I've been out of touch with Countdown lately. Have Rick Wakeman or Ken Bruce been on since Nick started?
Thanks Wakeman hasn't been on Countdown since Series 59, which was Carol Vorderman's last series. His week was 14 to 18th July 2008. There are some people I would love to see back in DC, and some I wish would never come back at all. Giles (or is it Gyles) Brandreth will not be back on again apparently after his appearance in 2009 was spent nearly molesting poor Susie Dent. I gather she said that she would never sit in DC with him again, so I doubt he will be back on anytime soon. |

Doesn't that mean you confuse him with the real Jeremy Vile (on ITV opposite The Wright Stuff)?

Neither under Nick Hewer, although Ken was on during Jeff's last series. Week of the 7th to 11th of November 2011.

When Countdown started I remember he seemed to have more enthusiasm for the programme than everyone else put together. |

I'm not a great fan of Giles Brandreth, but he was on Just A Minute a few weeks ago and started off one round by saying "I once went out with Ed Balls' mother Ophelia, who failed to live up to her name". I haven't laughed so much in ages, and the studio audience's laughing all but drowned out much of the rest of his piece.

Good Lord, where did you get that from? Although I can't say I'm surprised!
As for Terry Wogan, his first appearance was 8 May 1997 and last appeared on 16 August 1999. DC guests coming up are in order (on the Wiki page anyway): Jo Brand Dave Spikey Nicky Campbell Mark Foster (swimmer and Strictly contestant) For me, 2 out of 4 isn't bad. Although I can take or leave Campbell, Foster is so boring I fall asleep when he's on screen. |

Thanks for the info.

I used to work with her and still live very near her, so I'll ask her for you next time our paths cross on the nursery run. |

Maybe it wasn't Susie herself, just the Countdown or C4 bosses saying no more Gyles on there?

I also remember cringing as Giles poured over Susie, salivating at her every word as she desperately leaned back as far as her chair would let her. I think by now Susie would have a fair bit of sway, but equally bosses would want to show her comfortable with the guest, rather than squirming!

I thought that outfit was awful, but then I am a leg man.

I'm glad the chap won today, because he was under orders from his wife to take her the teapot.

I love her daft words, she makes me laugh as well. Dave Spikey next, so another good week for me. Then Nicky Campbell who is OK, followed by the dullard Mark Foster.
